Özet

The aim of this study is to investigate the light verb constructions in German and Turkish within the framework of contrastive linguistics. These constructions are obtained by combining a noun and verb and regarded as a grammatical category in German. On the other hand, it is seen that these constructions have not been investigated adequately in Turkish. The determiner criteria in German were applied for Turkish and it was determined that the light verb (noun-verb) constructions discussed in compound verbs fit into this category. It was also determined that noun-verb compounds have common morphological, syntactic and semantic characteristics in both languages. The noun-verb compounds in press language of both German and Turkish were investigated in the practical part of this study as these constructions are used especially in written language. As a result of the study, it was determined that these constructions are frequently used in both languages and share similar characteristics, the noun sections are generally derived from a verb, the prepositions are more frequently used in German, the accusative cases are more frequently used in Turkish and these structures may have passive meanings.
